San Nicola-Ciborio

San Nicola-Ciborio
Il ciborio soprastante l'altare, realizzato prima del 1150, è il più antico della Puglia. Quattro colonne di marmo antico, le antistanti in breccia rossa, le posteriori in breccia viola, sostengono il baldacchino, composto da due tiburi piramidali a base ottagonale sovrapposti, sorretti da due serie di colonnine con articolati capitelli. L'elaborato riprende un motivo romano, affermando in tal modo esplicitamente richiami al classicismo. Splendidi sono i capitelli che concludono le colonne databili del terzo decennio del XII secolo. Quelli anteriori recano figure angolari di angeli, quelli posteriori sono ornati, uno da pròtomi di ariete e uccelli, l'altro da motivi vegetali.

The ciborium above the altar, built before 1150, is the oldest in Apulia. Four columns of ancient marble, the front in red breach, the back in purple breach, support the canopy, consisting of two pyramidal tibers with an octagonal base overlapped, supported by two sets of columns with articulated capitals. The work takes up a Roman motif, thus explicitly affirming references to classicism. The capitals that conclude the columns dating from the third decade of the twelfth century are splendid. The front ones bear angular figures of angels, the rear ones are decorated, one with pròtomi of ram and birds, the other with plant motifs.

Ah, wieder etwas gelernt! Ciborium war mir völlig unbekannt, es kommt aber offenbar auch hauptsächlich nur in Italien vor.
